Crystal and Tony Pulsirisaroth of Howard County, Maryland, transformed their property to accommodate their expanding car collection. What began as a modest garage expansion evolved into a comprehensive $3 million home renovation, including both indoor and outdoor living spaces, modernized interiors, and a custom 12-car garage designed for storage and socializing.
Project Background
Property Purchase (2018): The couple acquired a 3-acre property with a two-bedroom lower-level apartment for family use.
Garage Expansion: The original three-car garage became insufficient as their collection grew beyond a single Mustang.
Scope Increase: The project evolved from a $1 million garage addition to a full-scale renovation covering garages, living spaces, outdoor amenities, and interior design.
Key Renovation Features
- 12-Car Garage
Functionality: Designed for both car storage and social gatherings.
Design Collaboration: Worked with architect Wayne L. Good to integrate modern amenities with traditional home design.
- Outdoor Entertainment Spaces
Landscaping: Stone patios and gardens provide ample entertaining space.
Pavilion Addition: Custom-built pavilion for outdoor gatherings, blending with natural surroundings.
- Interior Enhancements
Living Areas: Updated interiors incorporate contemporary design while maintaining the home’s original charm.
Furnishings and Decor: Carefully selected to create a cohesive, inviting atmosphere.
Outcome
The renovation demonstrates how personal passions—like a love for cars—can drive transformative home design. The Pulsirisaroths successfully integrated functionality, entertainment, and aesthetic appeal, creating a home tailored to their lifestyle and interests
